Union Real Talk for a mo.

My coworker broke her foot today because of an unsafe wobbly cart combined with a poorly maintained ramp.

Our union rep (when contacted) came over and had a quick less than 10min chat with the supervisor. After that chat?

1. My coworker was given admin time to go get X-rays as opposed to needing to use sick time.

2. The Union rep helped her successfully fill out the worker's comp forms so she doesn't have to pay for it

3. They're getting rid of that cart

4. All carts are being re-routed to the front entrance until the ramp is fixed

5. She's going to work at home for the next month while her foot heals.

Without a union present? Maybe #5 would have happened, but the rest? Doubtful

As a matter of fact, if your employer fires you for anything relating to forming a union, that’s retalition, and it’s illegal under federal law. If this happens to you, vontact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Hey do CNA's have a union? In my area you need years and years of experience just to make the same a mount as McDonald's pays their employees! And this is a job where the quality of a human life is in your hands! Taking care of our society's most vulnerable! One where you need training and a certification, yet most nursing homes and agencies have decided that we're worth 9 to 12.50 an hour and no benefits or health insurance.

You do not have a union as of yet, but I have good news! You can create a union by getting together and making choices to strike or do other forms of resistance! Before it gets that bad though, let me have a talk with your boss. I’ll se what I can do. - Mod Evil

[osha-union-representative]

Just a reminder that we here at the OSHA union believe in unions, fictional or real, wholeheartedly!

I am dead serious: If you are a Walmart employee, at any level and in any store — like if you are a high school kid with a part time job stocking shelves — message me any question you have about unions. Like ask me “What’s a union” if you want. I will explain it to you. I am a grievance chair for a white collar union whose workplace only unionized within the last five years and whose management fought as every step of the way, but in the end we fucking won. It can be done, and I can tell you how.

Rb to kill wal mart

[notanothercashiercomplaints]

Unionizing is our wet dream I promise you.

[vbartilucci]

I like how it’s described as a union could “cripple American Capitalism” when more precisely it’s just that a union would be so powerful as to force WalMart (or any other company) to pay their workers like human beings. That’s not going to break Walmart. They’ll barely notice.

They’ve successfully convinced us that the unions are the greedy monsters. For so many years, the companies have painted unions as “we want you to pay janitors three million dollars a year and if you don’t we’ll set your stores on fire”. 

But it’s more like “We want you to take an almost imperceptible fraction of your bountiful profits and use it to make your employees’ live marginally better, and maybe give them medical benefits, y’know, so they don’t die”.

Big companies did not stop hiring ten year olds to work in coal mines because they just woke up one day and said “my god, we’re monsters”. They did it because their workers stood together and said “really, enough of this crap”.

Companies are not going to give people raises unless it’s economically necessary that they do so. Anything they can do to lower their expenses, and raise their profits, they are going to do. And no one person can stop them.

But thousands of people, millions of people? Better chances.

To anyone that wants to claim it wouldn’t work:

Just another reminder that Walmart Germany was a spectacular fail because of ver.di (which is a national service trade union that has it’s control over almost all trade and service companies in Germany) among other things.

Like, ver.di essentially came up to the CEO of Walmart Germany and was like “Hi, welcome, we wish you the best and that we can work together well :)” and the dude was like “hahaha no” and tried to pull the american concept here so ver.di pulled out a list of all the breaches of german law that Walmart was doing (underpaying workers, trying to avoid paying health care by using part-timers, trying to be open for more than 80 hours per week, firing people on short notice without warning or exit payments, etc) and long story short, they got some massive hefty fines for it. They also set up a list of demands for the workers and organized national strikes to push them through, making the employees of 85 hypermarkets neatly stand in front of the store doors with signs, whistles and chants (and certainly not the “Wallmart! Wallmart!” chant). In the end, that plus other things caused them to bail after 9 years with a gigantic loss (almost a billion just from sales) from one of the best retail markets in the world.

So all those issues like “no healthcare” or “work full-time and need food stamps” or “work on sundays and holidays” and shit? Unions are there to set their foot down against that for you. They are there to keep you safe from the corps wrath while fighting for your rights.

Cause if you, an individual, complain, they just fire you and laugh about it. A union is a collection of hundreds up to MILLIONS of people, supported by lawyers, going against employers for you.

In Denmark, due to union negotiations & refusal to work for slave wages, the McDonald’s basic pay comes out to about $20 US / Hour. The big mac there costs about 60 cents more.

Hey, any ideas for what to do with a literal child who got into your supply of hand grenades and is now throwing them haphazardly out the window on the fifth story? Cause I know we’re in a warehouse but I kind of want those grenades, and she won’t stop setting them off. - Mod Evil

[osha-union-representative]

Guys she got into my spell scrolls and, um, @black-magic-osha? @black-magic-osha-employee @plague-doc-osha can you help?? - Mod Magic

[black-magic-osha]

Oh. Wow. If we didn't know any better, we'd assume that was a massive wild magic event. But aside from reporting you for several dozen child safety violations, there's nothing we can-

4d207372676d77204b276b20727079767a206167687620656b7262206c7162726f2064786962702e

...We'll have a team out there as soon as possible.

[osha-union-representative]

Ok so is it really our fault that this kid just showed up and won’t leave??? - Mod Evil

[black-magic-osha]

Excellent. They're still around then. Undoing all of this will be a lot easier if we can get them involved. Do you think they were intentionally trying to destroy everything you hold dear, or will they help clean it up willingly?

To answer your question, any hazardous materials and particularly spell scrolls should be sealed away from any intruders. If a literal child with such little spellcasting experience could cast them, it's safe to say that Mod Magic hadn't properly sealed them. In fact, one of the spells that this child cast should never have been on a scroll in the first place. However, now is not the time to discuss that.

[osha-union-representative]

Ok look, all of my spells are sealed in pocket dimensions. I don’t even know how she got to them. - Mod Magic

Ok so in my defense, I really like my hand grenades, and I didn’t realize how dangerous that spell was. I was just trying to distract her. - Mod Evil

[black-magic-osha]

So that's what happened. It's not a dangerous spell if cast properly, but even a single mistake... well, we all heard what happened.

For now, you would be that kid, no? Let's leave the adults to their bickering and get this mess sorted. With our help, you should have no problem undoing everything you've done, ok?

[black-magic-osha]

Mod Evil didn't know this, but that scroll was a spell for a single-use private teleportation circle. It's not your fault, but now there's an unstable rift here that'll keep teleporting chunks of the ground Void-knows-where until it's sealed or it burns itself out. Since you made it, it'll respond to you and nobody else.

This staff will let you use some of our magic to see it and patch it up. We'll talk you through the process. It'll all be okay, don't worry. This happens a lot more often than you might think.

By the way, sorry for calling you a kid. We were just following Mod Evil's example. What should we call you, then?

[mareep-is-transfem]

no but like it's actually very fucked up how "sunday night blues" and midweek burnout are a thing.

The fact that most people spend significant parts of their weekends or mornings actively dreading going into work...like, do we realize how staggeringly unhealthy that is? how many people have been living under this giant weight of anxiety for most of their lives and just don't realize it? how many people have woken up and thought "I can't do this today", knowing that their only real choice is to figure out a way to do it so they have enough money to keep going? How many people are actively ignoring the demands of their bodies for a break?

and the worst part is that this is up to us. we let bosses and corporations do this to us. today's work weeks and wages and benefits and time off (or lack thereof) aren't designed out of necessity. they exist to increase your bosses' profit.

we don't need work weeks that are designed around maximum production with the bare minimum of time off businesses can get away with giving you. we don't need back-breakingly long hours, or artificially early school mornings, or wage slavery.

sometimes it seems like we've just, universally decided as a population that overworking oneself, ignoring your own needs for rest, and pushing through conditions that are detrimental to our mental and physical health to make money for someone else is...okay.

It doesn't have to be this way.
